Speed up plpgsql trigger startup by introducing "promises".
Over the years we've accreted quite a few special variables that are
predefined in plpgsql trigger functions. The cost of initializing these
variables to their defined values turns out to be a significant part of
the runtime of simple triggers; but, undoubtedly, most real-world triggers
never examine the values of most of these variables.
To improve matters, invent the notion of a variable that has a "promise"
attached to it, specifying which of the predetermined values should be
assigned to the variable if anything ever reads it. This eliminates all
the unneeded startup overhead, in return for a small penalty on accesses
to these variables.
